Screenshot of Jack Jenkins’ RNS article: The call followed an 11:30 a.m. interfaith service in the free speech zone near the facility at 1930 Beach St., that called on federal immigration officials to let faith leaders into the building to provide interfaith services to detainees. Although it was not explicitly stated, it appears that future services like Friday's would fall unde the ban.
Friday's try was the third time such an entry was attempted, and the third time it was denied. Organizers weren't allowed to deliver a letter requesting entry to the building between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

I vaguely remember someone else who was denied three times.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like β€œbet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Review: Pluribus, "We Is Us" & "Pirate Lady" | Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2 A castaway on Utopia's glittering shore

So long as Vince Gilligan keeps making shows set in Albuquerque, @donnadb.bsky.social will keep writing about them.

Her review of the first two episodes of #Pluribus is now up at Episodic Medium.

Episodic Medium Reviewing television one episode at a time like it's not going out of style.

I think Apple TV may have a hit on its hands with PLURIBUS. 1st two episodes reportedly dropped early, and the service has crashed. You can read my reviews at episodicmedium.tv at midnight β€” first post of the season is unlocked for all.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

My 9 year old niece won an art contest at the Louvre but right as they put her drawing up on the wall some thieves busted in to rob the place

They only took jewelry but that's probably only because they didn't know where her drawing was

Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

Listening to the IN OUR TIME episode about THE TIME MACHINE, I learned that H. G. Wells lived till 1946! What did he think of Orson Welles’ radio play of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, I wondered? Turns out the two were interviewed together on a San Antonio radio station in 1940! youtu.be/nUdghSMTXsU?...
